Copper Roofing
Copper Roofing Materials & Fabrication Considerations
Copper roofing and flashing systems are fabricated from sheet copper and require precise detailing to account for thermal expansion and contraction. Proper copper installation includes correctly sized seams, expansion allowances, and fastening methods that allow the material to move without stress. Copper is commonly used for valleys, dormers, flashing, and accent roofs where long-term waterproofing is critical.
Over time, copper naturally develops a protective patina that enhances durability while maintaining performance in exposed roofing environments.
